Intel plans to deliberately limit Sandy Bridge overclocking

[Mumak]

100% agree !
Is it true that the SNB (Gesher) team was put together in 2004? When did the development kick off? It's unbelieveable if you imagine how much time did it took and what architectures have been on market by that time... Can u tell us few stories about the internal development team?

With all Due respect, you are trying to teach driving to the world champion of F1 ... the team working on SandyB is probably one of the best in the industry.

It is always easy to say "They should add this, or that" , or "adding a simple divider or multiplier" ... If it was that simple, it would have been done ...

It is always easy from your desk to say what to do, just try to even do one cell of those processors, and you ll realize that the complexity of the subsystem you try to do is so much larger than what your brain can comprehend without years of training ...

I think you need to learn a little bit how to value the work of others, and stop thinking you are the only one with the pure trues. (Again, with all respect due).
SandyB is the merge of many PC subsystem into one chip, and I don't think you have the knowledge to appreciate the complexity of the task.

The architects and designers of SandyBridge are very hard working people, and thinking that we did not try to put a clock divider or multiplier is kind of insulting.

there are very good reason for what we get, and I will did not give up on it, neither the Overclocking task force inside Intel.

We are working hard, put your opinion in your pocket for now, and wait.

Again, some time, just temper your opinion, you just don't have the facts in your hands to talk.

Best regards, this is my personal opinion.
